Read this first · the figures below need context
99% of Enigma Foundation’s FY2021 grant dollars went to Donor Advised Charitable Giving Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2021 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year Enigma Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 6 organizations, $99k. It is dated, not current.
